Walked past it today...along with the Dooper and the ONE cab! lol

It would seem that my old Cooper has gone...I wonder who has it now.

Woody'sCooper · Jan 4th, 2008, 11:25 PM

its getting louder too as i get closer to running it in. Its very addictive!

But i keep making it burble in the garage and the front of our tumble dryer is black from the exhaust deposits!

Any suggestions how I could check that everything is okay? Something seems to prevent the "pop"...

Isn't the convertible a supercharged rather than turbo charged engine?

You need to be a bit softer with the clutch!

The exhaust pop you get from a Borla Agressive cat back is the most addictive sound in the world so loud is scares the public

Richard Crofts · Jan 8th, 2008, 11:34 AM

Its normal. BMW programmed a fuel dump into the r53, r50 and 52 vcersions to give it a popple on over run. the r56 will undoubtably have the same....it is especially pronounced on the forced induction cars (where popping on over run is fairly normal anyhow)

brett · Jan 8th, 2008, 01:26 PM

can you get the minis turbo whisseling?? My parents X5 has a whissel if you hold the rpm at a certain RPM

Cheers

Richard Crofts · Jan 8th, 2008, 05:22 PM

The whistle is the blow off or dump valve releasing excess pressure the turbo has produced and that is not being used due to not being in wide open throttle. This is also the noise you hear from the turbo powered imprezzas and lancer evos, although the boy racers fit ones that allow big pressure build up with a single vent at the end rather than a constant vent like on a stock car

Woody'sCooper · Jan 8th, 2008, 05:32 PM

i thought i heard somewhere that the mapping was revised for the US where they would not be so keen on the popping and burbling. is this true?

Nath316 · Jan 9th, 2008, 12:14 PM

yeh I have it as well normally on 1st to 2nd change and at higher revs

sounds great

matfrost · Aug 24th, 2008, 04:34 PM

Is the pop & bang only on the R56 S hatch, as I don't seem be able to provoke it out of the Clubman S like i did on my R53S

You should get the pop/bang as the the engines are identical

matfrost · Aug 24th, 2008, 07:43 PM

I wondered if it is because the exhaust is different?

I have a July 07 build MCS and am not familiar with the Clubman 'S'......do you have twin exhaust outlets at the rear ?

Mine pops mostly when changing from 1st to 2nd, but although I cannot hear it all the time, I have noticed pedestrians turn their heads. Not far from my home a road goes under a bridge, and there are traffic lights. If I accelerate hard from the lights with the window down and change up to 2nd gear it's really audible.....but not always

supa-dupa-cooper · Aug 24th, 2008, 09:22 PM

My S does it quite often, changing, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and when accelerate and lift off it burbles away cracks and pops

Love it!

Twin exhausts but one either side rather than 2 in the middle.

Gristy · Aug 26th, 2008, 07:11 PM

Got a double bang this afternoon - one 0.5 sec after the other

Not had that before
